ENSURE ACCESS

MAINTAIN

Care for our new community treasure through the Madison Youth Arts Center Endowment, a Madison Community Foundation fund.

WHY I GAVE

“Youth arts groups have been searching for a place to call home for decades, wandering from rental halls, to warehouse facilities, to abandoned office spaces. This is a dream come true! It will enhance diverse opportunities for young people to come together to share their talents, skills, and imagination through the arts. What an extraordinary gift!”

– Diane Ballweg, Capital Campaign Chair

WHY I GAVE

“I can’t think of a gift I could give that would impact more than this, in the arts and for young people. I think there will be a whole generation–and generations to come–that will feed the arts in our community.”

– Pleasant Rowland

WHY I GAVE

We’re blessed to live in an area filled with thriving arts organizations, particularly those aimed at fostering creativity in the next generation. My daughter is thrilled about the new center being built just blocks away from our home downtown, primarily for her and other kids in Dane County. I also could not be prouder to call Madison home! A community willing to invest in an educational and performance space designed for OUR children to cultivate and showcase their artistic pursuits now—and for years to come.
